Community Improvement Plan Update and Survey

The Town of Arnprior is undergoing an update of its Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The Town has retained the services of WSP, a consulting firm, to assist on this exciting project.

The current Arnprior CIP was adopted by Council in June 2011. Since then, the CIP has served as a planning and economic development tool, used to address a range of objectives including community revitalization, rehabilitation, development, and redevelopment. The CIP also provides financial incentive grants to properties located within the designated areas to assist with meeting the Plan’s improvement goals.

An update to the CIP will allow the Town of Arnprior to continue to help build a foundation for future economic growth and sustainable development. The objectives of the CIP update are:

to evaluate the Town’s current CIP and incentive programs, using community feedback and applying lessons learned in the 10 years since its adoption; and
to make updates to the CIP and incentive programs, reflecting changing priorities and conditions in the Town, such as the revitalization of the historic Downtown.

The Community Improvement Project Area (CIPA), where the incentive programs will be made available, will be re-evaluated as part of the project process. This may include the entire Town or a portion of the Town.

The project is anticipated to be complete in early 2022. Input collected from past CIP program applicants and community members through surveys and consultations will assist in the preparation of the updated Plan.

Community members are invited to provide feedback and ideas by taking part in an online survey. The online survey will be available until October 4, 2021 and includes questions about the vision, goals and objectives for the CIP. To complete the survey, please click here. We appreciate your feedback.

Please watch for other opportunities for community engagement throughout the process. For updated information on the project and to complete the survey please click here.
